Message-ID: <3164@ihlpf.ATT.COM> Date: 23 Dec 87 23:06:55 GMT Organization: AT&T Bell Laboratories - Naperville, Illinois Lines: 20 Keywords: Usenet,private access Would the Usenet readers please provide some information about how an individual could access a computer which carries at least all 433 of the existing newsgroups, when that individual only has a computer terminal and a 300/1200 baud modem? For example, if an individual accessed Usenet as a university student and as a corporate employee for 10 years, but then suddenly had no access via school or company computers, how could that individual regain private access to Usenet? I'm told that there exist private companies which will sell users an account (on Unix I hope) and time by the hour. Is that information factual? General info, names, addresses, and telephone numbers are what are being requested please, and thanks-a-lot in advance! -- Jim Rodriguez ...!ihnp4!ihlpf!jrod AT&T Bell Laboratories
